Mesh Jacket

[SassyBikerChick]

Alright ladies, which mesh jackets do you have and why do you like them? I currently have the Cortech LRX Air Mesh Jacket and I love it, but it's also the one I wrecked in a year ago so it now has some holes in it and I'd like to replace it. One of the things I love most about this jacket is the two stage liner that it has since the weather in MS is so unpredictable. This two stage liner system makes it a great year round jacket as it has the wind liner and then also the cold weather liner. You can wear all three at the same time or any combination you'd prefer. I was trying to avoid buying the same jacket again, but I'm having a hard time finding anything else I like that has the two stage system like this one, so I thought I'd check and see which mesh jackets you girls had and why you like them.

I've got at least 4 mesh jackets. In Florida, you can't have too many!
The Cortechs for me, are not cut very flattering. The First Gear one I have is cut nice, but has almost zero protection. My favorite jacket I have now is a Power Trip Jacket that looks like a Jean Jacket. I think then Joe Rocket, which owns Power Trip are the way to go. Cortech has changed their styles a bit, so maybe I need to check them out again. I have the big boob problem.

I found a link to my favorite Jacket - Power Trip Ronin. Darn - on close out they are$85.00!!!

I think Tam's solution for a jacket is the best. She had hers custom made and it's got a perfect cut. It's works very well and looks great.

Pics or it doesn't count. I'm just sayin' . . .

Yea, I must say my Cortech jacket is not the most flattering jacket, but it was the best option since with our weather here in MS it'll be 100 one day and 50 the next or heck 100 during the day and 50 at night, so the liner system was really what drew me to the jacket. As far as cut, it's really more of a bubble on me haha. I definitely like the fit of my Joe Rocket Textile or Scorpion leather jackets better, but during the summer I'm more worried about not sweating to death during the day or freezing at night, haha.

I had a JR Cleo mesh jacket that I took to a seamstress and had altered to fit better. I need a large so the sleeves would be as long as I wanted, but then the jacket was too big and fluttered around. So I had some darts sewn in and it fit great.

Don't have it anymore, I sold it a few years ago.

I love my Joe Rocket mesh, its really mesh, you can see through it. It only has one liner though. Its kinda old too, not even sure if they still make it.

I have the Joe Rocket Honda mesh that I wear all the time. I also have a Teknic Supervent (I think)mesh jacket that I really like. If you don't like short jackets though, the Teknic won't work for you.
